Glad to read of the parking here. The former Privilage Hotel was our very first stay on SXM - long gone. I remember the Hotel Keep - Bernard was a wonderful man. We stopped making the trek over the hill when the hotel closed and there has been lots of turn over at the other resorts there...seems like almost annually one turns over. We will make an effort to visit the beach and restaurant in Feb when we visit.
We have a friend in the hotel business and he said there are several places where "turnover" is constant and Ansel Marcel is one of them because on SXM most don't want to be that isolated or to go AI. I believe the Meridian closed after that fiasco with the road that went un repaired for ages leaving the hotel with no guests for quite awhile. Raddison didn't make a profit either so in came RIU. Time will tell if another comes along.
